Marrying Gold and Jade

There was quite a stir in the Cheng Mansion that day. Lin Ji took Tan Jinghe back on the pretext of poisoning, and the Cheng family naturally tried their best to suppress it.

After all, it is a very shameful thing to have someone poison you at a banquet.

Doctor Luo has been visiting the house many times recently. This time, he sat beside the couch and couldn't help but sigh: "Girl, you should save some trouble for her skin."

Lin Yu's ankle was swollen. She rubbed it with cooling ointment for a long time, but the redness and swelling did not go away.

She grasped Zhu Lian's hand and leaned on the soft pillow, saying with pain: "After my injury heals in a few days, I will go to Yunwu Mountain to investigate the Gu doctor's condition. If I can get the medicine, I will ask you for help then."

Luo Qi kept kneading the medicine, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Okay."

This injury kept me out of bed for seven days.

Ruan came to see her daughter every day. When her daughter was able to get out of bed, she personally supported her daughter and walked around the bed.

Lin Yu's legs felt weak and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back from walking. Finally, he simply threw himself into his mother's arms and rubbed the woman's shoulders like a cat.

"I can't walk anymore. I need my mother to carry me."

She has been like this since she was a child. Ruan stroked her daughter's head and smiled with doting.

"Yu'er has grown up. I'm afraid mother can't hold him anymore."

"Then I will hug mom from now on," Lin Yu raised her head, "I will also protect mom, just like mom protected me when I was a child, okay?"

Lin Yu did not know what happened to Ruan, but she only knew that after that incident, her mother appeared less and less frequently, and she was in poor health and had to take medicine frequently.

But her father did not allow her to visit her, and she could only hear a few words from the maids.

Lin Yu has been thinking a lot these days. He always feels that this matter is also related to his mother. She may know something but has never told him.

"Mother, why doesn't father believe me?"

The gentleness on the woman's face paused, something surged between her brows, and she slowly frowned again.

Finally, he just said, "I'll go talk to him again."

Lin Yu nodded. After she was able to get out of bed, she still went to the dining hall every day to have meals with the whole family.

After this seemingly harmonious dinner, Lin Yu suddenly said, "I'm really tired of staying in the house. Wanying, can you walk with me in the yard?"

At that moment, everyone's eyes were on her.

Everyone knew that she didn't like Wan Ying; even after she sprained her foot, Wan Ying never stepped into her yard.

Wan Ying had certainly thought that if the plan failed, the little rabbit would become suspicious, but even if Lin Ji investigated the Cheng family thoroughly, Tan Jinghe's poisoning had nothing to do with her.

Even if someone asks, I am not afraid.

"Brother, will you come with us?" She turned to Lin Ji timidly.

Lin Yu's eyes also shifted to him.

That day he sent me home and asked me to "wait for him".

Lin Yu didn't dare to believe it, but she also knew that he was not so naive towards Wan Ying.

My resentment towards him was reduced by three points, but my trust in him did not increase at all. I just knew that he would not do anything to harm me, so I didn't care if he traveled with me.

Under the gaze of the two girls, the man nodded slowly.

It was already dark, and I felt a little nervous walking with a lantern at night in July.

As they walked, Wan Ying realized something was wrong.

Why does this road seem familiar?

It seemed like that day was just as dark, but I didn’t have a lantern, and I walked along…

"Where are you taking me?"

Lin Yu didn't respond.

"It's too late. I need to go back and rest."

As soon as she turned around, Qingdai blocked her way.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed at the dark wall in front of him and asked, "What is that?"

Wan Ying looked sideways and found that the courtyard wall was damn familiar, and there was a particularly familiar-looking person standing underneath it.

If I remember correctly, this person seemed to be a mute.

The muscular young man turned around, his face hidden in the night, and he was holding something in his hand.

Wan Ying wanted to retreat, but this time Lin Yu reached out and held her back.

Then, the man in the night quickened his pace, almost rushing over here, and suddenly raised the object in his hand -

"what!!"

Wan Ying struggled desperately, not knowing how many people were holding her down, but she just couldn't move.

As he collapsed, he shouted, "What's the point of you killing me! It's not me! It's not me!"

Her legs were stiff as if nailed to the spot, and she could only watch the sword stabbing towards her.

At the critical moment, a hand reached out and held the sword for her.

After a contest of strength between the two men, the "sword" suddenly bent with a "click".

It was a paper sword.

Wan Ying turned around in disbelief and saw Lin Yu staring at her. She was not sure when she had discovered it.

Or maybe tonight was just a test for her.

The beautiful face was illuminated by the lantern, hazy and beautiful enough to make people intoxicated.

Suddenly he smiled again, with a thick hatred between his brows.

"Look how scared you are. I was just joking with you."

Lin Yu waved his hand, Mingyuan ended the secret contest with Lin Ji, and quickly pulled the paper sword back.

"But you just said, 'It's not you.' What's not you?"

The force that had been restraining her body was removed, and Wanying was still in shock, with cold sweat already soaking her hair.

She knew that Lin Yu had become suspicious, but before that, she had been hoping for the best and had not visited him as she had done in her previous life.

Suspicion was inevitable, and she didn't even start doubting too early.

"What do you mean it's not me?" But despite this, Wan Ying still chose to play dumb, "Did I shout something just now? Maybe I was scared."

"Sister Yu, even if you hate me, you don't have to scare me like this, right?"

Lin Yu didn't know her age, but because she came into the house late, she insisted on calling her sister.
